LuciusM wrote: 18 Aug 2020, 06:26 Racism in this novel can be compared to the recent killing of George Floyd. I can relate from your review the depiction of evil when it comes to security personnels.
Indeed, I thought about that situation too. Novels like this one are must read books more than ever. Thanks for commenting!
